Fatty Liver –
ALCOHOLIC AND NON-ALCOHOLIC LIVER FAT
Surveys show that around 20 to 30% of the Western European population have fatty liver which is not caused by alcohol consumption but has other causes. NAFLD is also attractive more common in children in relation to diabetes, overweight, and obesity (obesity). Studies have shown that boys are affected more often than girls. In adults, on the other hand, more women than men have NAFLD.
About one in ten adults in Western Europe, on the other hand, has fatty liver caused by alcohol consumption. Alcoholic fatty liver is already diagnosed in 50% of alcohol dependents.

The Difference Among Fatty Liver And Fatty Liver
FAT STORAGE LIVER DISEASE
Fatty liver (hepatitis steatosis) is a liver disease in which certain fats (triglycerides, phospholipids) are stored. A [fatty liver] (steatosis) is already present when more than 5% of liver cells (hepatocytes) store fat, while doctors only speak of [fatty liver] when at least 50% of liver cells are affected by fat deposits. A distinction is also made between the alcoholic and non-alcoholic form of fatty liver.
Causes Of Fatty Liver Formation
POSSIBLE TRIGGERS FOR INCREASED FAT STORAGE
Many of the details of how [fatty liver] develops are still unclear, but researchers believe that the buildup of fat inside of liver is mainly due to the following factors:
Increased absorption of free fatty acids from food or body adipose tissue
Increased production of free fatty acids from glucose over acetate
Reduced breakdown of fatty acids in mitochondria (cellular power plants)
Decreased production or excretion of lipoproteins in the liver, which transport neutral fats (triglycerides) present or produced there from liver cells to other cells in the body.
Direct Relationship Between Liver Fat And Body Weight
[Fatty liver] occurs in 76 to 89% of all overweight adults with a BMI less than 30. It occurs in 46 to 50% of cases in alcohol dependents.
Normal weight children with [fatty liver] are often diabetic.
The development of a [fatty liver] can be regularly observed together with an existing insulin resistance.
CAUSES
alcohol
Mellitus diabetes
Eat excessively
dyslipidemia
severe protein deficiency
Liver toxins such as fungal toxins, phosphorus, chlorinated hydrocarbons, organic solvents
Medications such as tetracyclines, aspirin, corticosteroids, amiodarone
Consequences of chemotherapy for cancer
Morbus Wilson (copper metabolism disorder)
Symptoms Of A Fatty Liver
FATEST AT FIRST MOSTLY WITHOUT SYMPTOMS
A [fatty liver] often develops without symptoms at first and is only noticeable when it has increased in size. Only then do various body reactions occur, which can manifest themselves in the following symptoms:
enlarged liver
enlarged spleen
yellowing of the skin (jaundice/jaundice)
Severe discomfort in the right side of the abdomen.
weightloss
nausea
Fever
loss of appetite
[fatty liver] therapy
management activating factors
The goal is [fatty liver] regression through consistent therapy. Depending on the triggering factors, various measures are possible:
Weight reduction in overweight
Comprehensive nutrition according to the 10 rules of the DGE on overeating
avoid alcohol
The cessation of diabetes in diabetics.
In the case of [atty liver]caused by protein deficiency (protein deficiency), high-quality protein (protein) is supplied
